Forest Green Rovers vs Bradford Predictions

• Forest Green have won eight of their last ten home league games (D1, L1).
• Bradford are enduring the league’s longest active losing streak (L5).
• Bradford failed to score in four of their last six away games.

An opportunity for Forest Green to get back on track

While Forest Green Rovers are seemingly cruising at the top of the table with their eight-point gap, they have endured a rotten run of form, which would see them firmly in the bottom half of the five-game form table.

Even so, Forest Green can rely on their stunning home form to bounce back, they are unbeaten across nine of their last ten league games at the New Lawn, scoring 1.8 goals per-match on average while conceding just 0.3 in return, suggesting they could well bounce back at a decent price.

‘No Mark’ Hughes so far

The introduction of former Premier League manager Mark Hughes has done little to soothe the faltering form of Bradford City, with his losing two-game start only serving to extend their losing streak to a league-worst five.

Nine points clear of the drop zone but 16 away from the play-offs ahead of the weekend, the motivation for Bradford players to kick on could be brought into question, though they will be keen to stop the rot soon and give Hughes his first win at the club.

I predict that the gulf in class between the sides is simply too much here, Forest Green are on a rotten run themselves but the league leaders should have enough in the bank to dispatch this mediocre Bradford City outfit, perhaps by a 2-0 scoreline in a workmanlike victory.
